It started working for me again.. it stopped last night, and didn't work this morning... but now it works..
I'm assuming it's a mistake by Reddit?
I think that RIF has lost enough users that sometimes it's traffic can get through the free API limit.
Long time BaconReader user. Very disheartening, but hopeful for the alternatives
I finally had to uninstall because I kept opening the app out of habit. But thank you, RIF, for all the good times.
Picked up premium last week in support. Thanks for all you did!
RIF was one of the first apps I downloaded when I got a smart phone. I was looking for things to do with it and saw it trending in the App Store so I decided to check out this Reddit thing. For over a decade (until I moved to an iPhone) RIF was Reddit to me. I’ve gone to Reddit through official channels only a hand full of times and it’s a terrible experience.
Very bummed to see RIF and Apollo dead. To me, that means Reddit is dead. Whatever is leftover is a shell of what it once was.
Ripe in Pisces.
it really makes me sad. I can't imagine how you feel. 14 years is a long fucking time.
I'll have that icon in my drawer as long as I have this phone.
Thanks for all the fish
